2008 ISA SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
20 junior surfers from 16 countries are the new ISA surfing ambassadors
San Diego, Calif. - 2 February 2008 - After a careful revision by the Scholarship Selection Subcommittee the ISA has announced the recipients of the 2008 ISA Individual Scholarship Program.
ISA TO AWARD TWENTY JUNIOR SURF 
SCHOLARSHIPS
San Diego, Calif. – August 14, 2007 – The International Surfing Association, the World Governing Authority for surfing, will award twenty scholarships to junior surfers in 2008. Billabong and Quiksilver are partnering with the ISA to offer this incredible opportunity to junior surfers.
The ISA Individual Scholarship Program debuted in 2007, when five scholarships were awarded to junior surfers. The winners, also named ISA Junior Ambassadors, were from South Africa, Peru, Ecuador, Jamaica and Chile, and received $1200.
The Individual Scholarship Program's main objective is to provide financial support in order to facilitate an experience in surfing while encouraging the importance of education. The money must be used to travel to surf contests, and/or buy new equipment and to foster their education. Additionally, the program offers added incentive for national surfing federations to send teams to ISA events furthering the reach of surfing as scholarship recipients can use the experience to become better surfers, potential national champions, even possibly world champions all the while continuing with their education.
